Btw, if the bows in Skyrim baffle you as much as they did me, aim-wise, here's the explanation.

Apparently there's a script in place that checks what you were aiming at until about 100 yards out, and then makes the arrow hit that (ie, your arrow exactly hits where you were aiming.) Beyond that 100 yards, the normal parabolic arc takes over.

This probably explains why I've never been able to hit a fucking Dragon in flight.

Anyway, add this to the [Combat] setting in your skyrim.ini, to turn the entire crap off, and have the parabolic arc ALWAYS determine what you hit.
